Adhyaya 78 — Hymn to Surya and the Distribution of Solar Splendour; Genealogy of Vaivasvata and Chaya’s Line
ततः स्वरूपमतुलं दर्शयामास भानुमान् ।
तस्यैषा च समालोक्य स्वरूपं मुदमाददे ॥
tataḥ svarūpamatulaṃ darśayāmāsa bhānumān / tasyaiṣā ca samālokya svarūpaṃ mudamādade
تب بھانُمان (سورج) نے اپنا بے مثال حقیقی روپ ظاہر کیا؛ اور وہ اس سچے روپ کو دیکھ کر مسرت سے بھر گئی۔
Harmony is restored through truth: the revelation of svarūpa resolves suspicion and re-establishes right relationship.
Vaṃśānucarita: the episode functions as a narrative hinge enabling the continuation and clarification of lineage.
Sūrya revealing ‘atulya-svarūpa’ mirrors the Upaniṣadic movement from appearance to essence: joy (ānanda) arises when reality is directly apprehended.
